Welcome to The Mississippi Association of Professional Landmen
America's Oldest Active Landman's Association - Founded 1944
About the Mississippi Association of Professional Landmen
The Mississippi Association of Professional Landmen (MAPL) was organized in 1944 and is America’s oldest active landmen’s association. On September 14, 2026, the membership voted to change the Association’s name from the Mississippi Association of Petroleum Landmen to reflect the broader work of today’s landmen. It has a membership of approximately 200 members, associates, and honorary members.
The Association was organized for the purpose of improving the profession of petroleum landmen. Among its activities are monthly meetings with programs of interest to the industry, a continuing education series of industry seminars, and the annual publication of a personnel directory.
